Supermodel Miranda Kerr has embarked on a romance with Australian billionaire James Packer, following her split from Orlando Bloom, according to reports.
Casino mogul Packer, 46, is reportedly having a romantic affair with Australian beauty Kerr, three months after he and his model wife, Erica Baxter, announced that their six-year marriage was over.
Kerr and Bloom announced they had “amicably separated” and were ending their three-year marriage in October. Bloom is currently starring on Broadway in “Romeo and Juliet.”
Australian weekly magazine Woman’s Day, once owned by the Packer family, is publishing claims that Packer and Kerr are in new relationships after both announced, just 45 days apart, that their marriages were over.
Reps for Kerr last night declined to comment to Page Six on the report.
Both James Packer and Erica Baxter are longtime friends of Kerr and Bloom. They were all pictured vacationing together with their families in Tahiti last year. Packer and Erica have three children, while Kerr and Bloom have a 2-year-old son, Flynn.
While former Victoria’s Secret Angel Kerr and Baxter grew up in the same New South Wales town, Gunnedah, Packer also provided business advice to Kerr when she launched her range of Kora beauty products.
On Saturday, Kerr and Bloom, who have remained close friends following their split, were spotted together on the Upper East Side with their son.
Kerr later posted an Instagram picture of their son at the Richard Rodgers Theatre, with the message “Flynn having such a great time watching Daddy on stage.”
Bloom told Katie Couric after their split, “We love each other. We’re a family . . . We’re going to be in each other’s lives for the rest of our lives . . . There’s no question that for the sake of our son and everything else, we’re going to support one another and love each other as parents to Flynn.”
